Single Window Initiative (SWI) Integrated Import Declaration

March 9, 2017

CBSA is holding two Webex workshops on the Single Window Initiative (SWI) Integrated Import Declaration, specifically for importers and customs brokers who transmit release data, in an electronic format, to CBSA. The objectives of the Workshops will be to address technical questions about the IID; there will not be any presentations.

From CBSA…

The workshops will be held on March 21st and March 28th, 2017, from 1 -3 EST.  The workshops will be held in English but welcome any questions in both official languages. 

The workshop will provide attendees with a better understanding of the SWI Electronic Commerce Client Requirements Document (ECCRD), Version 3.0, specific to the IID data map.  The focus of the session will be to address questions regarding:

  • Mapping questions on the IID including:
    • Participating Government Department and Agencies (PGA) data requirements
    • EDIFACT inbound message specifications
    • EDIFACT outbound message specifications
    • Code tables
  • IID Application Process
  • Set up of a profile to transmit the IID
  • Transmission of an IID
  • Transmission of a document image
  • EDI communication methods

The session will not focus on any information relating to process changes for a PGA program and will not include PGA participation.

We strongly recommend that individuals with a technical background attend the session.

Participants should be familiar with the SWI ECCRD, Version 3.0 and the Participants Requirements Document – Document Image Functionality, Version 1.4.  To request electronic copies of the documents, please contact the Technical Commercial Client Unit  ([email protected]).

Registration details are below.  Members are required to register.  Attendance will be limited so we recommend you register early to ensure a spot.

We look forward to your participation.
